Quiet unionizing?

Trump supports aren’t real people. Their sentience has been classified as below that of plants. Morals don’t apply.

In the beta, noticed this during an afternoon nap. I didn’t think how that was new until after I read an article on it. Seems like such a natural feature.

It doesn’t record the same, just a shaded bar that covers all the three sleep stages at once.

Wonder if they’ll add trends for how frequent naps are occurring.

Yeah at this point it’s a question of when the hype ends and it all comes tumbling down. There’s nothing but investor sentiment holding the price where it’s at.

Year over year revenue is down 50%, consistently for several quarters. Three missed quarterly estimates in a row.

The smart money is moving to catch the Nvidia bubble.

That might be their internal reasoning but Apple will very quickly move to have these capabilities in house. Apple has been working on machine learning for a while but they don’t collect data so they are unable to build these LLMs.

For now it makes sense for Apple to leave the liability of basing these LLMs on copyrighted data. If OpenAI losses those court battles, they take the hit for services rendered to Apple. None of that liability transfers to Apple.

Meanwhile, Apple is going about this the Apple way by encouraging developers to integrate their apps into new frameworks being added. This gives them access to user data directly from the source allowing them to build personalized models.

These models will likely be far more useful to the day to day mundanity of life than the hallucinogenic encyclopedia that is ChatGPT.

No, it’s like how any other password manager work. They simply reinvent that concept over the past several iOS updates.

Hopefully it has “hide my email” integrated as well since that it’s key differentiator.

Yes. I understand the people who don’t use Apple products think they are smarter than those who do. Your list of common tropes is tiresome.

The reality is quite far from what you imagine. People who actually understand technology, people who are in the tech industry use Apple products at a higher rather than those who are not.

Instead of Apples well thought out walled garden, fools happily pay extra to play in Google/Amazon/Microsofts chain linked dirt pit. It’s hilarious what lengths people go to pretend that is a better experience; that rusty chain link with barbed wire is superior to walls

This is why I went with HomeKit devices. I do not understand why people trust Amazon or Google, their business models are not pro-consumer.

If Apple pulled at one of the maneuvers these two have, there would be a flood of articles condemning them. No one expects Amazon or Google to respect you.

I hope he spends billions on it only to resell it for millions after the internet moves on.

This is long and I got bored but skimming it, it sounds like he was being stubborn about returning the items because he felt aggrieved. I can’t really feel much sympathy for his situation.

Amazon has definitely declined but this isn’t the shinning example I was hoping it to be.

Google’s death spiral will take a while but it’s clearly circle the drain.

It will likely never completely die the same way IBM never died but it will stop being the desired placed for new graduates.

The real trick there is how he didn’t get sued.

The SEC has held him more accountable than the share holders

His only talent is convincing the wealthy to invest in his schemes. I don’t understand how he does it, hearing him speak is painful.

He got lucky with Tesla becoming a meme stock.

SpaceX is being run by a competent engineer while its competitor, Blue Origin is being run by a megalomaniac. This is possibly Musks only competent move in business.

The rest of his ventures have been failures. To any one not blinded by greed, it’s clear he long ago peaked. He’s playing a shell game now but people will happily invest hoping luck will strike again.

I agree.

One can’t claim to love programming while calling the act of writing code being a code monkey. Whatever they actually love about the process may not exist in the industry.

I would suggest they explore alternative roles and perhaps alternative industries. They sound like they are new to the industry so their ability to land a senior role is likely to lead to different disappointments.

The best way to do something, often isn’t the best way to implement something. That’s why this is a senior role. The author does not appear to understand this concept and will be horribly disappointed when their perfect architecture is ignored by the realities of development.

I have heard Iran mentioned

“Media attention” doesn’t appear on your quote nor the entitreity of that Wikipedia article.

The other two are merely your personal interpretation of how you split the phrase “professed refusal”

Professed can as easily be satisfied by going on a piracy forum and declaring your allegiance to the movement.

Refusal is what piracy is. The act of ignoring copyright law, is the refusal.

“I do not agree with copyright law and will not be restricted by it” – This statement satisfies “professed refusal”

I do not have to petition my senator.

I don’t have to stand on a street corner with a sign.

I will take it further and claim that you or anyone else adding arbitrary rules to how one must practice civil disobedience is antithetical to civil disobedience.

Did you even bother to consult a dictionary before you wrote up this silly gatekeeping nonsense?

There is nothing in the definition of civil disobedience that says it needs to be public.

There is nothing that say we have to openly challenge the authorities.

There is nothing that says we have to get the medias attention.

Where does this expectation come from?

I did not commission these works.

They created their art without a contract between them and I.

Their ability to recover their cost is not my responsibility.

Their right to obtain a profit is capitalist nonsense.

The force of government injecting a contract doesn’t create a moral obligation.

So where does this moral obligation come from?

Is there some religious text indicating the divinity of copyright?

The concept was created from nothing.

Plex with Apple TVs. This requires a lot of transcoding but I have dedicated hardware.

I’ve tried many alternatives over many years but they all eventually annoy me. I’ve been doing this long enough to know eventually something better than Plex will come along but that day has yet to come.

I don’t have any streaming services. They are all terrible and I prefer to put that money towards more hardware, mostly hard drives since my library is of the data hoarding style, ever increasing.

My setup is entirely automated via various watch lists.

IMDb watch lists and Plex watchlists as well as various lists setup to retrieve based on cast / director involvement that feed into Radarr and Sonarr allow titles to be added from my phone.

The added benefit of a my automation setup is that I can lose a hard drive and the system will self heal.

Takes one to know one!
